HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing in-
structions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately
the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers....

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.),
the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives...

Maintenance wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside
the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thor-
oughly.
Do not use...

Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and objects
that could be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter “What to do...

7. When no more water comes out, un-
screw the pump cover by turning it an-
ti-clockwise and remove the filter. Use
pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag
nearby to dry up any water spillages
when removing the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove
any traces of fluff.
8. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from
the filter seat and from the pump im-
peller.

peller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn’t rotate, please contact your Serv-
ice Centre.

Cleaning the water inlet filters

To clean the water inlet filters:
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
